PSXE Poll Update: Red Dead Redemption Tops Priority Lists
So if you're not already playing and loving >Red Dead Redemption, you most certainly intend to purchase it, which is good news for Rockstar and Co.
Of the nearly 1500 who answered the poll, 1/3 say they own and adore the open-world sandbox Western, another 1/3 say they fully intend to buy the game soon, and only a very small number say it didn't live up to expectations. Some said it wasn't their thing but in comparison to the overall love shown for RDR, it's almost insignificant. This past week has seen the emergence of a legitimate Game of the Year contender as it has met with considerable critical acclaim and has proven to be a financial blockbuster, so perhaps these results shouldn't be surprising. After this mammoth success, we're wondering if Rockstar intends to continue this franchise; we had the relatively average Red Dead Revolver ("relatively" in comparison to RDR; the game was actually decent) but now, shouldn't another "Red Dead" be inevitable? Or maybe they should focus on a new exploration-based title of a similar structure but different theme? After GTAIV and RDR, they've obviously got this style of game down pat...
Anyway, this week, we want to know if Treyarch's Call of Duty: Black Ops appeals to you. We don't have a ton of CoD lovers around here but with the news that we'll get a robust single-player campaign, plus the inclusion of a Vietnam setting and a kick-ass trailer...well, it might have changed your minds. Let's find out.

Not interested in Black Ops myself, just more of the same old CoD rut like last time. I'll play the split screen at my buddy's house; I don't buy the fact that the story in this will be very good since it's going to be another bounce around schizophrenic experience.

-RDR is the shit.
-And as talented as IW's lil' brother, Treyarch, is...I'm CoD'd out. I can barely play shooters now. Thx to that 2-3 yr blitz of shooters...I'm done with basic FPSs for now.
These developers gotta come a lil' bit harder now. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure the game will rock. I think it has the potential to be better than MW2! But I just can't play st8 up FPSs anymore.

It's amazing, however, that Sony doesn't get sued over the accuracy of some of these characters in Modnation. I made Taokaka (big surprise, right?) and Xavier from Xavier: Renegade Angel, and they look exactly like the real thing! :)

As for an RDRII, I would put a good amount of stock in the idea that it will be produced. I have no clue what the title will be, but as King James mentioned, they have people for that. And if their writers somehow draw a blank(unlikely) I'm sure they'll get a million ideas from fans worldwide. Id be interested to see what kind of DLC RDR will have, it'll prob. be pretty ill lol

but than thats what i said about MW and GTAIV so i guess anythings possible!!!
as for black ops, meh im really sick of war games.
one of the guys at EB has played it along with medal of honor and he reckons medal of honor sh*ts all over black ops!
he said respawn entertainment are actually helping out on both the MP and SP, its going to be interesting to see how that turns out.
DICE and the ex infinity ward guys working together, now thats interesting considering the pot shots they kept making at each other.

I'm certainly not wrong about the missions, friend. They happen like I described. Like I said, I'm 20 hours in and only in Mexico SOOOO, yes, I've partaken in every available distraction so far. The random encounters repeat so much it's not even fun anymore. I can't slug a guy without the law coming but kidnappings and prostitute assaults cause no stir at all. And I would like for ONE time, just once, to draw on a guy and he says, 'You're John Marston! You've killed nearly 1000 guys in the 20 mile stretch. I give up!!' Again, the hype for this supposed 'realistic' game is astounding. But the mini-games don't make it a 'sandbox'. The ability to shape (get it? shape like sand.) the story or character to your liking and in turn, affect the world around you, THAT is a 'sandbox' to me. And RDR is a good game, no doubt. I'm just saying it's not worthy of GOTY status and this sickening fawning because it's so derivative. GOTY should be reserved for games that take true steps in reshaping and improving a genre. Plus, I usually wait until November before I throw out that tag, but maybe that's just me and the rest of the dissenters. We like the term 'free thinkers' BTW.
@Ben
There were some critics that gave Halo ODST a 9+. Perfect 10 or 100s even. So I'm not sure why you refer to yourself and the others as if you're the 'be all, end all' of gaming knowledge and opinion. I mean, for reviewers to say RDR's story stands next to the great westerns of film is absolutely ridiculous. And maybe you guys should stop telling us that we NEED to buy certain games in your reviews, as if everything we love as gamers depends on it. Don't be a schill.

I'll definetly be getting Medal Of Honor one month earlier over Black Ops.
Plus Fallout New Vegas is released just a few days after Black Ops so its going to be interesting how sales go for November.

We really need more split screen co-op games these days
